Black Omnibus.......wow Im having a flashback. Thanks for this great early Robben, fresh out of Ukiah!

[@lilspoonyskod]

[@ccfliege]

that was so great mane, they all have such a great time

[@sheriffii]

wow. look at robben. 21 years old.

[@Earl00001]

This is a great find!! Robben really rips it up during that solo. He is definitely a different player today. Now he is more relaxed while still ripping it up lol

[@djizzah]

imo robben better then, funny song singing about ejaculate

[@JonaBlend]

Don't you hate that when Robben is soloing that they show reaction shots or the crowd?
The sad thing is these "editors and or directors" are STILL doing the same damn thing.

Robben Ford is great but, IT'S JIMMY WITHERSPOON WHO'S REALLY MAKING THIS SONG F-L-Y...!

The guitar is bigger than him

[@pit2ryan3]

That guitar solo doesn't match the feeling of the song, sounds like an out of tune free jazz wrong scale...

[@billwhite9703]

That's a very good rendition by Jimmy and I like the small, cool, appreciative audience, But I'm a little disappointed in Robben (whom I like a lot) there, the guitar doesn't fit the song at all.
